Default Re: What languages do you speak? read? write?

I'm English, so it goes without saying that I am an accomplished user of my native tongue.

I can also vaguely understand written French - by which I mean that I can often work out the gist of a sentence, but not its finer points, such as grammar. I can do the same, but to a much, much lesser degree with Italian.

So, essentially, I can only speak English. Oh, I can also read Middle English and a small amount of Old English, in addition to a similarly small amount of Latin.
